"How about her daughters? You name a price and I'll buy them."
Upon hearing this, the woman below kowtowed even more vigorously with joy: "Thank you, young lady, thank you, young lady, your kindness will surely be rewarded. Yu Niang will definitely repay you for your great kindness."
Zhang Houzi heard that there was still hope for business, and that there were two more people, so his mood improved. He didn't bother with Yu Niang about what happened just now: "Stop it, don't embarrass yourself here."
Turning to Liu Qinghuan, he said, "Sister, you are truly kind-hearted. I was originally planning to send her two daughters to a wealthy family as maids. Now that you want them, I will naturally give them to you at a discount."
"Being kind isn't always a good thing. Brother Zhang, please stop teasing me," Liu Qinghuan smiled, feeling uncertain. "I wonder...how much silver I'll get for taking two girls with me?"
Zhang Houzi knew that there was something wrong with Liu Qinghuan's money, so he thought to himself, "Thirty taels."
At the beginning, the old woman of the Hu family sold the person to him for fifteen taels of silver. After eating some of his food for three months, she asked Liu Qinghuan for thirty taels of silver, which was equivalent to a net profit of more than ten taels of silver.
Liu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief calmly: "Brother Zhang, I bought three at once, can't you give me a discount?"
Zhang Houzi said, "Sister, I treat you like my own sister. If I sell two little girls to the mansion as maids, who would not get ten taels of silver? But they are a little small, and I am too lazy to raise them. I will give you thirty taels of silver along with their mother."
Hearing what Zhang Houzi said, Liu Qinghuan sighed heavily, feeling that there was nothing left to bargain for. "Brother Zhang has indeed taken good care of me, so there's nothing much for me to say."
He took out the thirty taels of silver that the system had just given him from his pocket, put them on the table, and returned to poverty.
Zhang Houzi's eyes narrowed when he saw this, and he said happily, "Wait here for a moment, sister. I'll get her two girls and the indentures right away."
After Zhang Houzi left, only Liu Qinghuan and Yu Niang were left in the room.
"Today, I did something I shouldn't have done for your motherly love. You don't have to be grateful to me, but remember one thing: I value loyalty when I ask people to do things," Liu Qinghuan said, staring at Yu Niang who was still kneeling on the ground. "If you work diligently and wholeheartedly for me, I will not treat you unfairly. As the two girls grow up, I can definitely help find a good husband. But if you have any thoughts of being lazy and betraying me, don't blame me for selling you out again. By then, it won't be as simple as separating flesh and blood."
Liu Qinghuan probably knew what was going on. As long as the indenture was in someone else's hands, their life and death would be decided by that person, and the government had no right to interfere.
"I remember this, my lady has done me a great favor. I will serve you wholeheartedly and will never betray you!"
Seeing that the intimidation worked, Liu Qinghuan asked Yu Niang to stand up: "You don't have to call yourself a slave, and I'm not a lady. You can just call me the boss."
"Yes, Boss, Yu Niang knows."
Yu Niang wiped her tears and stood up straight.
"How old are you?"
"Twenty-four."
Liu Qinghuan was shocked. He was only two years older than her modern age, but how could he look like he was in his forties?
"What are the names of the two daughters?"
"The older one is called Huyang and the younger one is Hutao. They are both obedient children and are used to doing chores at home. Don't worry, young lady." When talking about her two daughters, Yu Niang's face showed a motherly glow.
"It's a good name. The children are still young, and I don't need them to do any chores. Just do what they can."
During the conversation, Zhang Houzi had already brought Yu Niang's twin daughters over.
"Sister, this is a personal bond, you take good care of it."
